Elizabeth City
People in Mass Meeting Take Action
Elizabeth
City, Jan. 1—A mammoth mass meeting was held here to discuss the quality of the
city water supply. Mayor Fearing presided over the meeting. Superintendent
Lewis of the water company admitted that the water was salty and objectionable,
and stated that the company has experts at work on the matter. Mr. J.B. Flora,
one of the city’s leading citizens, offered a resolution condemning the city
water and also the intake, with the recommendation that the citizens refrain
from using the water until the intake was changed, so as to give a good water
supply. This was adopted.
The sinking
of the schooner Minnie and Maude, with a cargo of net stakes in Albemarle Sound
is reported. The captain and crew reached the shore safely.
The trips
of small freight boats have missed trips on account of the ice in the sound.
